About the Show

Iconic comedian and Fashion Police host Joan Rivers is making sure to check out Broadway’s newest crop of shows this season. “This has been some weekend,” the Joan Knows Best star told Broadway.com at Priscilla Queen of the Desert’s March 20 opening. “I saw The Book of Mormon on a Thursday night, [Kathy GriffinWants a Tony] on Friday and Priscilla tonight. That’s a New York weekend!”

So what did the always opinionated actress, a Broadway veteran herself thanks to Broadway Bound and Fun City, have to say about the latest Great White Way offerings? “They’re great. I’m coming off such a high [after seeing Priscilla]. The audience is insane here.”

Rivers may have enjoyed Priscilla’s performance, but was she impressed by the musical’s eccentric outfits? “The costumes would not do well on Fashion Police, but they look incredible," she declared. "Give me a good drag queen any day!”
